The Orioles threw a little surprise at us on Wednesday afternoon, promoting Gunnar Henderson to MLB rather than waiting for rosters to expand tomorrow. Tonight’s lineup suddenly became much more interesting. Where would Henderson play, and how high or low would he hit in the lineup?
The lineup for the second game of the series in Cleveland against the Guardians is out now, and we’ve got our answers. Henderson is in there at third base, batting sixth in the order. Here’s the full starting lineup for Wednesday:
- Cedric Mullins - CF
- Adley Rutschman - C
- Anthony Santander - RF
- Ramón Urías - DH
- Ryan Mountcastle - 1B
- Gunnar Henderson - 3B
- Austin Hays - LF
- Rougned Odor - 2B
- Jorge Mateo - SS
That’s the lineup in support of starting pitcher Jordan Lyles.
